How to Develop a Protagonist [Transmigration Book]

Netherland, Youfu.

As the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, Youfu actually has nothing special about it, except that there are more Ming people coming and going, and the city walls and gates are all dark black.

Liang Gong looked up at the high city wall, and really couldn't understand what was the use of this city wall.The Hades family is dominant, there is no war between Hades, and the entire clan is peaceful, and the only enemy is the Demon Realm next door.But Moyu itself is at a disadvantage, otherwise it would not have been able to be a nail in the border for so many years, and it is already very remarkable to be able to hold on.

The Demon Dao couldn't even break through the border, let alone hit the base camp of the Hades.In this way, the most important function of the city wall - to keep the enemy out, is completely meaningless.city ​​gate

"Senior Liang?" Xun Tianqi couldn't help asking when he saw Liang Gong who was walking beside him suddenly stop in front of the city gate.

Liang Gong murmured in a low voice: "The Underworld Emperor is not here..."

Xun Tianqi was startled when he heard the words: "... how do you know?"

"Intuition." Liang Gong glanced at Xun Tianqi. Although the answer was a bit perfunctory, he was telling the truth. He couldn't feel the breath of Emperor Underworld at all—God knows how he knew what Emperor Underworld's breath was. Like... "Forget it, let's go in. Although the emperor of the underworld is not here, at least one of the ten kings will be here."

What he didn't say was that the "absence" of Emperor Hades he felt didn't mean that he was not in Youfu or sleeping, but that he didn't exist in this time and space at all!Therefore, he had a vague feeling that Emperor Hades had either encountered an accident—commonly known as "dead"—or he had left this point in time, like a sage who kept his knowledge and was behind the scenes!

Xun Tianqi didn't ask too much, this is his usual style, leaving room for both of them to keep secrets.As the two of them entered the secluded mansion, a feeling of being spied on spread in their hearts.

Liang Gong was fine, as soon as he thought about it, the feeling of peeping disappeared before he raised his eyebrows, but Xun Tianqi was miserable, he was watched even more closely, and he was "gifted" a stress package for free, Although he was still able to keep going, there were already fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Soon, a female Ming family dressed in palace clothes walked up to them, and said in a good voice: "Please come with me, His Royal Highness King Minghe wants to see you."

Liang Gong and Xun Tianqi glanced at each other, followed behind the woman in palace costume without saying a word, but said in secret——

"What do you think, Senior Liang?"

"She has no reason to lie to us, and it is the imperial capital of the dynasty. Pretending to be the messenger of King Styx is a very deadly thing. Although there are not as many infighting among the Ming clan as the human race, all of this is based on the superior Ming clan. Under the absolute suppression of the lower Mingzu. In other words, the hierarchy of the Mingzu is actually stricter than any human dynasty.

"I don't know what King Styx will say."

"When the time comes to see the rightful owner, don't you know? At least the other party didn't throw us out, nor ignored us. Since he took the initiative to invite us, it proves that there is still something to talk about."

"But I think he probably only invited you, and I'm afraid it won't end well."

The corners of Liang Gong's lips curled up, almost laughing out loud.Mu Xuanhua killed several Hades, it is strange that the Hades have a good impression of him.On the surface, Xun Tianqi seemed to be lying innocently, but who made the Mingzu believe that he, Mu Xuanhua and Lihen were the same person?The past life and present life are so unreasonable, "I" have to pay the bill for "I" behavior.

Xun Tianqi's worries were not entirely justified. After they followed the woman in palace attire into Hades Palace, another man in armor and holding a halberd was waiting immediately, indicating that Xun Tianqi should follow him to another quiet place. A place to drink tea and wait.To put it simply, King Styx really didn't intend to see Xun Tianqi, he just felt that it was safer to stare under his nose than to let Xun Tianqi wander outside alone.

Liang Gong didn't argue for Xun Tianqi, and Xun Tianqi didn't object to his treatment.People under the eaves had to bow their heads, let alone a guy like "Mu Xuanhua" who had a criminal record, Xun Tianqi believed that Liang Gong might not be able to rescue him if he showed any signs of suspiciousness.

After parting with Xun Tianqi halfway, Liang Gong was taken to the palace where King Styx Ji Luo was.A nearly immortal existence like the Ming clan, whether it is thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, does not mean much at all. The current Ji Luo is exactly the same as the one in the memory of King Yinxu and King Kunze.

Seeing that Ji Luo didn't speak for a long time, but only looked at himself, Liang Gong didn't bother to put on a cold air, and asked directly: "I don't know what teaching His Royal Highness King Styx has?"

Hearing this question, Ji Luo blinked, as if a sleeping person was suddenly awakened, he exhaled and paused before saying, "Wang Shouzhi returned to the present a few months ago, and His Majesty is still in the past to intercept Si Fate."

Liang Gong's expression froze, and he said thoughtfully: "So?"

Ji Luo didn't answer directly, but said: "Liao An is currently in the Underworld Emperor's Palace, and I have told him all the ins and outs. Although he is unwilling to accept the facts, he understands what he means..."

"Sorry to interrupt." Liang Gong interrupted Ji Luo rudely before waiting for Ji Luo to finish, "I'm not interested in Liao An's matter, but I would rather know all the ins and outs, I wonder if His Highness can make it happen? "

Ji Luo, who was forced to change the subject, didn't seem to be angry—at least not on the surface, and he really answered Liang Gong's question: "In the beginning of the ancient times, the two gods of heaven and earth shared the power of the world equally. , The gods of both sides are slowly perfecting the big world. However, their existence itself is the biggest contradiction and difference between each other, and conflicts come unexpectedly."

Ji Luo used a flat tone to present the truths buried in the long river of time one by one: "Life and death come from the same root, but they are opposite and repelling each other. In the world at that time, there was no distinction between yin and yang, and even the vitality of heaven and earth It is also equal to voicing and turbidity. The world is evolving bit by bit, and Tian Cang can no longer bear to have another 'brother' share the authority of the world with him."

"12 years have passed, and the Tiancang clan made a bold move to sneak attack on the ancient nether world. This is a battle between them, and the other gods have no ability to intervene. They are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. In theory, no one should be able to do anything to each other. However , the final result is that the body of the Primordial Nether God turned into Netherland, his consciousness was shattered and scattered, and the great world of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties has since then had both sides of yin and yang.

"So, you don't know how that ancient god lost?" Liang Gong asked with narrowed eyes.

Ji Luo nodded slightly, and replied: "It should be His Majesty who knows the most, because His Majesty is the only consciousness born on the body of God. Although He is the body of God itself, it is not the ancient ghost, but it is a part of that person after all. Continuation. We were only born after the birth of His Majesty, according to His will—of course, the fragments of soul fragments fused with the consciousness of the ancient ghosts are the exception."

"However, maybe because that person was injured too badly, or because that person had other goals, or maybe it was because of Tian Cang's restriction, His Majesty lost the memory of the 'Last Era' that you said. He only knows, Netherland and God's Court are incompatible, either you die or I live. Therefore, His Majesty quietly accumulated strength, intending to use the key points of the world's evolution to overthrow the rule of God's Court..."

It is rare for Liang Gong to complain about the small question of "you die and I live", because the more he listens, the more he feels that something is wrong: "Wait, what do you mean, do you mean the end of the ancient era—"

"It is indeed related to us." Ji Luo admitted it very simply. "The Netherland did not exist in the first place. It only appeared because the ancient ghosts isolated and transformed the original world. But at the same time, it is good for the world itself. Everything People and things have their lifespans, and the world is no exception. It can be said that from the day the world was born, it is doomed to 'die' one day."

Speaking of this, Ji Luo suddenly sneered: "So, everyone hopes to be eternal, but the world, which is a miracle in the void, cannot get rid of death itself. The life that depends on the world for survival, I really don't know where the confidence comes from. Think you can get eternity simply!"

Ji Luo paused for a moment, and seemed to realize that she was slightly crooked and went downstairs. Without Liang Gong's reminder, she quickly returned to the previous point: "The Creation Palace once used the small world to conduct experiments on the life span of the world. They did It's on the right track, but those numbers don't translate directly to the larger world."

"Maybe it's because of the two supreme gods, or maybe it's because the world has such characteristics. Every time there is a little more vitality in the Yuanming Great World, there will be a little more death energy. When the death energy accumulates to a certain level, it will explode, forming the so-called And when the air of death exceeds that of anger, the world is not far from death.

"It sounds like there is no problem if there is no life in the world. A little life corresponds to a little life, which is also very balanced. But the fact is that the existence of the world itself is increasing every day, but the life will gradually change over time. Not much. The ancient gods have also discovered this problem, and this is the best excuse for Tian Cang to suppress the ancient Nether - he believes that the ancient Nether is the god of destruction.

"Tian Cang's concept is that he himself represents the 'life' of the world, and the ancient netherworld represents 'death'. Only when he controls the world, the rest of life can survive. But the ancient netherworld has everything completely opposite, its essence is 'death' ’, if He is there, He can turn the table anytime.”

A sarcastic smile appeared on Ji Luo's almost perfect face: "In the battle between Primordial Nether and Tian Cang, he tore apart the big world, and opened up the Netherland with himself as a place to absorb turbid and dead energy. With In the Netherland, the impact of death energy on life is minimized, and even when the world begins to be overwhelmed by the death energy, if the Netherland is torn apart, the world on the sunny side can be preserved, at most it will only lose part of its origin."

"Although this method is to drink poison to quench thirst, the world has been torn apart from its origin time and time again, and it still cannot escape death, but this approach can at least prolong the life of the world." Ji Luo paused, lowered her head and said softly, "Our whole The Ming clan are all evolutions of His Majesty's consciousness, and our ten kings are actually just part of His Majesty's personality, except for a few."

He suddenly raised his head and stared at Liang Gong with a complicated gaze: "The Netherland is the gathering place of the world's dead energy, and the Yin Ruins are the place where everything ends. At the same time, it leads to the void. It was deliberately left by the ancient ghosts to expel the dead energy. However, compared to the accumulated dead energy, the discharge speed is far behind, so the dead energy will explode once after a while.

"A small-scale eruption will only affect the Netherland, while a large-scale eruption will cause the turbid air to pour back into the world of the sun. Hate Tian Cang. Our consciousness as His Majesty is divided, so we naturally have the same emotion.

"Therefore, when the turbid air was pouring back, covering the world on the sunny side, and we were trapped in dead air for the first time in our lives and our strength was greatly reduced, we reintegrated into the Netherland. Your Majesty awakened the entire divine body with his own will, and competed with the Tiancang clan."

Ji Luo's voice gradually lowered, as if recalling the earth-shattering battle that day: "This battle is different from that in the ancient times. The Tian Cang almost convinced all the gods. At that time, there were only a few gods whose origins were closer to His Majesty and me. Standing on the same front, no god can stay out of it.

"The final result is naturally tragic. There is no winner in this battle, and there is no winner. Except for Tian Cang and His Majesty, there are only a few gods who have not been beaten until their consciousness collapsed. I don't even have a chance to live on..."

"Actually, the Tian Cang clan has won, because His Majesty is not his opponent. But he also lost, because the Commander-in-Chief retaliated against him!" At this point, Ji Luo faintly revealed a trace of murderous intent, "Tian Cang clan In order to control all living beings and create a god of command, he never imagined that the god of command had already given birth to great ambitions, devouring him when he was weakest, and now he is even targeting Primordial Nether..."

In a room of Hades Palace, Xun Tianqi sat quietly, not paying attention to the strange tea on the table, nor paying attention to the two Hades staring at him.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed across his eyes.Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the two Hades respectively.He quickly looked away and stood up from his seat, but the two Hades seemed indifferent as if they hadn't seen anything—or rather, they didn't even move, like two stone sculptures .

Xun Tianqi walked to the door very quickly, he didn't push it away immediately, but made his palm covered with a dim light, and then opened the door.The door was pushed open, startling the Hades guarding outside, but before they could do anything, they were just like the two Hades inside, frozen in place, unable to move or make a sound.

Xun Tianqi paused for a while, as if to judge the direction, and after a while, he walked towards a certain place, leaving only the Mingzu who could not move because they saw him...
